Eve tempted Adam who still enjoyed God's direct dominion out of fear and wanting to be closer to God through Adam. Ever since, our first ancestors fell away from God's commandment and law, women have been cursed away from their original position.
Afterward, God said that woman would be under the rule of her husband and he was to rule over her as a master. If this is the curse given after Eve's disobedience, what is God's original ideal for women in this context?
All Creation Exists in Pairs
Everything that exist has a partner. The pair system is very important. If we find ourselves in the upper position, we must think about the lower position. If we are on the right side, we must consider the left side. We consider the other side because we want to harmonize. This concept is a must: whatever position you have, you must keep the other in mind.
Everything in creation lives for the sake of the other. When you say up, you must first recognize down, before you recognize up. When you say right, first recognize left then recognize right. Even when in circular motion, one moves for the sake of the other. The person that is down lives for the person that is up. Without this you do not have motion.
When an individual does not keep the other person in mind, this is the beginning of destruction.
"Everything we see, including motion, is the expression of the desire to serve the other. So the more we move, the greater we serve. Here we see the principle of God's creation."
Satan's way is opposite of the true way. He says, "Live for the sake of me". Who are women born for. Are they born for the sake of themselves? No. This cannot be. When we mention 'women' we automatically think of a man. Women are born absolutely for man. And men absolutely need women. This principle does not only work for men and women, but everything in all of creation works this way. Because of this principle, we see that the universe was able to develop.
What if a grandfather in a family starts to say to his relative, "Live for the sake of me"? Harmony would not be possible only destruction and separation. Instead, when we live for the sake of the other, the more we move forward, the greater the other becomes.
In a situation, if the object and the subject each demand they be treated best by the other, they will fight constantly and begin to decline. This situation is turned around when they say, "I should live more for the sake of the other" and the greater the good will come to the whole. If each says, "I will live more for the sake of the other", this creates a circular motion and they will rotate faster and grow. Is this true or not?
Consider America
When we consider today's situation of America with its deep roots built upon sacrifice of the people and a Christian foundation, we see now that it has become a country of individualism. Yet, the citizens do not think twice about the country's position and think is fine. But, this defies the principle, the law of the universe which spits at America. The law proclaims that those who say, "You live for me", will perish. Those who live for others are protected. This fate and outcome is connected to the cosmos and is eternal. When the universe sees one living for the other, it is good.
When your mind and body is centered and united on God's will and live for the other, this is good. This base will grow larger and larger connecting to the universe.
How does one connect mind and body?
The first principle is to deny oneself and get rid of ego. The rule of living for the sake of the other is cardinal and when it is practiced, you will feel good and universal fate will support you.
When you roll like this, you are dancing.
But look at dancers today: are they dancing for the other or are they trying to pull others to themselves? If someone drinks a lot of wine in order to give money to another, that is good, but there is no such drunkard. They all drink for themselves. If there was a drunkard who drank to give money to others, there would be lines of people following him.
The situation of individualism, living for oneself, is the worst disease and is America's unfortunate reality.
Women reading this, do you consider man's appearance or his mind to be more important? Even the most handsomest man who is empty will be rejected over a man of heart. The man's mind and soul is important. Can we see the mind? How do we distinguish if someones mind is good or evil?
We can see if the mind is living for the sake of the other. One who lives and sacrifices for another is a good man. Don't you think if you find such a man and marry him that both of your future will be good?
The true champion of the world's women would want to live for the sake of the world. This woman would not have to make up her face. No one can deny that living for the world and others is the best policy.
What constitutes a truthful woman? When a man loves a woman with intensity and the woman tries to return this love, this is a truthful woman and vice versa. What happens in a relationship where the two partners cannot out do each other when loving the other? True love will grow. There is an infinite potential which breeds infinite prosperity.
America's way of living is to sue the company if they work for less, but this is not God's way or how He thinks. If you are willing to work for your company for less, you will become the head. What if God decided to sue humanity for not paying him? The whole human race would be wiped out.
True prosperity
Everyone in the world wishes for a peaceful planet. This will not happen without this principle stated above. Everyone wants to be the center and the top of the world. When the one appears who is the representative from the level of the individual to that of the universe, then the universe will be saved.
Why? Because God exists and God is like that.
Even if that is only invisible or a dream and only exists in the mind, it will come about, because God will create it for us. How wonderful.
The awesome conclusion is that each person wants to become the best. To do that, each must think, "I represent the entire world and live for the sake of the world." If you think that, then you think that you represent the past, present and future. Such a man loves woman the best, and can come to the conclusion that there is no woman who does not love him.
All women will want to marry that man.
In order for you to have that kind of husband, you must be that kind of woman. In that way you can be the best. When you learn about this, you say to God, "I will do not only that but better." If you are anxious to do better than God, you can climb on top of God's head and God will say, "That feels good."
